Loading/editing a setup from the garage is a good example. The background is dark and the text white in full HDR peak brightness, it's actually hard to read without squinting.

Just wanted to share this since I recently got a new TV and got to experience F1 2020 in HDR for the first time. While the on-track gameplay looks great in HDR, the menus/text are often a pure white against a dark background. This normally isn't an issue in SDR, but with HDR the text is displayed at maximum brightness (you can't change this on the TV as it reduces the HDR effect during gameplay) and things like the setup/garage screen text become painful to read and very eye straining. Other games seem to manage this better by taking the HDR into account for the menu design, so I was hoping something can be implemented for F1 2021 to make the text and menus in HDR more pleasant to read. Maybe you can consider something like a menu toggle or brightness slider for text alone in the graphics settings, or adjust the HDR text brightness automatically, but any solution would be welcome.

Hi guys, it's been a while since I've been active on here. Just wanted to wish everyone good luck and a lot of fun with the beta, I've enjoyed participating all these past years and this time I've decided I'd prefer to experience the game fully once it releases and leave my testing spot to someone else 🙂 @BarryBL and everyone else, good luck, enjoy the testing and I'll see you on track and the forums around the game's release, looking forward to the new game! 🙂

Some more races in and the graphs have not changed for me and other teams despite putting on many new upgrades; It seems they won't go up until you exceed the performance number it got 'stuck' on after the reg change. I also still can't tell which areas of the car are strong/weak because the R&D departments/comparisons are still showing end of last season's performance as if the upgrades were never lost between seasons. All the charts and graphs are completely off, hoping this is being looked into @BarryBL

I would think that, but I've completed 50 races on simulation damage and haven't seen the SC or VSC, not even once. Other people I know who are playing on full or even reduced damage get an abundance of SC's, sometimes multiple times a race. Of course you can always get a streak of (bad) luck, but if I haven't seen it after 50 races it can't be a coincidence or settings related, some bug is preventing it from being deployed since race 1.

49 races in, 50% on sim damage, have yet to see a single SC or VSC. it's clearly bugged for some while it's working fine for others.

1: After a regulation change that affected Aero and Chassis going from season 3 to season 4, the team performance table did not change accordingly; teams are all on the same place on the graph as where they ended the previous seasons. This can't be right as I lost a lot of upgrades and should have gone down on the chart. There's no way to know how the teams actually compare currently other than looking at how it actually goes in the race. I suspect I've dropped somewhere to the midfield but the table is still showing me as second best team nearly on par with Mercedes. Also when going into the R&D tree, the affected departments still show the previous/highest performance comparison despite losing many upgrades. 2: Base PS4 3: 1.06 4: My Team. In case it's tied to the issue: I ran the previous season as a 10 race calendar and switched to 16 race length for season 4, while the regulation change happened. 5: This isn't something I could replicate easily as it requires playing multiple seasons (and getting a reg change) 6: I've tried doing a session to see if the performance list would still adapt or if the car performance itself actually hadn't changed; but the car is clearly slower and the chart is wrong. 7: T300, DS4, PS4 Gold headset. 8 Here's the performance table at the end of season 3: These are most of the upgrades that I lost after the season. I did manage to save some of them after this screenshot, but not nearly all as this came in at race 8/10. Then the performance table after the reg change, start of season 4. Looking at the chart and numbers; nothing's changed when all the teams should have mixed and dropped down a fair bit.

Same issue on my team. I'm at race 42 and haven't seen a single SC or even VSC. All races were 25%/50% and on simulation damage, many retirements and parked cars but never more than yellow flags.

@MironnoriM Are you talking about the "instant replay" while racing? If so, you do get the full race replay after completing the race, you can access it from the results screen.

I changed from Honda to Renault after season 2 and nothing changed; same performance, same skill tree/upgrades and still had the Honda audio. This was on v1.05 on PS4 though, really hoping there'll be a fix for this soon.

Same, 35 races in and I haven't seen a single (V)SC yet, even though many cars have retired and parked in dangerous spots. Running 50% races on Simulation damage.

I would also love this back, the gap between 50% and 100% is just too big. 50% often messes with the strategies/results as the top 10 who start on softs are forced into a 2 stop strategy at many tracks, allowing P11+ to take the top spots by starting on a harder compound to do the 1 stop.

Here's my season 2 title challenger, quite happy with how it turned out:

Not sure I agree, your purpose can be getting the R&D points while simply getting up to speed, completing it "blind" can even feel more rewarding, like a succesful installation lap.

It would if you're still having to learn the track/corners, but if you're familiar with them you'll hit the gates by just finding your own way around the track regardless, I've done it a few times and it felt more realistic and challenging. Only issue I had with it is that in some corners multiple lines are possible and you might miss a gate just for taking a slightly alternative line that's just as good.
